Us-23 Traffic Shift Today

WHITEFORD TOWNSHIP — Construction crews will make a traffic switch on US-23 near US- 223 this after­noon, weather permitting, as part of a major rebuilding effort along the freeway.

Once the traffic switch takes place, one lane of traf­fic will be maintained in each direction on the southbound side of the freeway between Sterns Rd. and US- 223. This traffic configuration is ex­pected to remain in place until late May, said Kari Ar­end, a spokeswoman for the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) that is overseeing the project.

The traffic shift is needed while crews reconstruct a section of northbound US-23 as part of a larger project this year, Ms. Arend said.

MDOT’s Brighton Trans­portation Service Center is overseeing the work.
